Guys, keep in mind this is a USED Denali (2007) that I can find for around $38K (New '09's are over $60K) I cannot use a P/U, need an SUV like I have now. I've owner an '01 Denali before, just curious about the new body style.

Oh BTW my current ride gets 12-13mpg solo, 9.5mpg towing the X-star!
(mostly because it has a 4:10 rear)

My wife puts about 2000 miles per year on the the GMC 1500 pulling a 7600 lb horse trailer (I put on about 20 miles per year pulling the Maristar). I have concluded that any bigger truck is a waste of money and gasoline.

I know you need an SUV, but can't beat a diesel for mileage if you're towing alot. Or empty driving for that fact. I don't know how some people can claim 18-20mpg out of gassers. Must drive 55mph everywhere and kick 'er in neutral going downhill!
Guy that towed my X2 from LV had a 6 liter GMC CC, 4wd and said he got about 8mpg and I followed him the last 2 hrs of the trip and he barely hit 70mph on the freeway, slower most of the time.
Our work trucks, mostly DOdge Hemis and 5.4L F150s all get around 12-13 mpg empty.

For $38k you could get any crew cab or Mega Cab diesel you wanted and put a topper and carpet in the back. Voila! An SUV that you can hose out the back!

My advice would be to find a low mileage 7.3L Excursion if you tow alot.
